Well I don't know about gaming (I'm a Wii user and it interferes with accurate waggling), but reading Joystiq?

Hmmm.. now thats another question...

What they forgot to mention:

All of those men were playing DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball at the time, and all the women were playing Rez.

I've played some Guitar Hero in a towel before, and I almost always play any other game in boxers and a t-shirt, but nude? Weird.




Also, $5 says that woman is wearing cut-off jean shorts under her clothes.

I find it ironic I'm wearing no pants as I read this.

I don't, because it isn't irony. Irony is a devout nudist getting strangled to death by a pair of pants on accident.

I doubt this survey is accurate at all. The probabl;y polled 1000 canadians with a multuple choice poll. Seeing an option like "I game in the nude" is something im sure 17% of people would click, despite never doing it.

As a canadian gamer, I have never seen, or heard of anybody, anywhere ever gaming in the nude. Besides whould you stand up and play, or just sit your bare ass down on the couch?

I'm not sure what is more disturbing, that 1 in 5 Canadian men game in the nude or that Microsoft wanted to know.

What? You take a shower, but before you can get around to putting your clothes on, you get distracted by video games. It happens all the time.

Ok, so we have that stat, that's great, but now Microsoft needs to do research to see if it makes any difference.

I'd try it, but somebody would walk in and think I was doing something else with A joystick...

With 1000 people polled, the margin of error is 3%.

Do you honestly believe 14-20% of canadian males play games in the nude?

Ofcource not.

14-20% of canadian males will admit to playing in the nude atleast once in their life, on an internet survey either because they did so, or because they wanted to pick the funniest anwser.

Lets be serious here. Few people actually take internet surveys seriously. If they are doing an internet survey. Chances are they are doing it because a reward site directed them to the site to earn points, that they can eventually exchange for cash or products. The truth of the matter is, none of those people care about being honest.

I seriously doubt 14-20% of canadians even play games semi-regularly.

Anyways, happy belated birth day my country.

I don't know what's worse: admitting I've played naked, or admitting that I played naked because I got an incredible Zuma craving during my shower.

I think we have to add the caveat "lives alone". People who live alone are pretty much naked anytime they are home. It just happens.

I'm home alone right now.
